Dear blog readers,
The reason I posted this letter from the Director of the Al- Falah Charitable Trust in Malawi is not to boast or off show, for certainly what the right hand gives, the left hand should not know about. Boasting, showing off and being proud is not a part of my character for I was not brought up in that way. My sole intention in posting this letter is to simply create an awareness that the projects that my family and I are involved with are legitimate projects. I know of many people out there who wish to contribute funds to the poor but are afraid of the legitimacy of the organization. Many of my Saudi friends have given donations to organizations outside of Saudi Arabia and they have been duped by these bogus organizations. A family friend of ours had given a huge sum of money for a masjid to be built in India. When he visited India himself he went to the village to enquire about the masjid that he had supposedly funded only to realize that no masjid was built. In other words he was cheated and robbed of his money by shady, unscrupulous characters.Be very careful to whom you donate money to. Make sure that the money is given to trustworthy, honest individuals. I would now like to take this opportunity in encouraging all my blog readers to join in our yearly Eid ul Adha Qurbaani program in Malawi by contributing funds to purchase sacrificial animals. If you wish to be a part of this project along with the well building project to provide clean drinking water to the poor impoverished villages in Malawi then kindly drop me an email or contact the institute directly. My email address is desertmoonsdiary@gmail.com. As God Almighty mentions in the Holy Quraan, " Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."
The Prophet Muhammed (SAW) said: " “Charity extinguishes the heat of the graves for the charitable people. And the believer will stand in the shade of his charity on the day of resurrection.”. Always pray that God Almighty blesses each and everyone of us in this world with hands that give and not hands that receive. Ameen!!
